moulding gaps
I'm repainting my second floor hallway and have an issue with the door moulding. The miter cuts were done well but there are 3/16" gaps between the wall and moulding in some areas. I can see this was because the door jambs weren't centered and the wall protrudes on one side and in on the other. I'd hate to have to pull this moulding down and recenter the jambs. That's alot of work. Is 3/16" too much of a gap to fill with painters caulk?? Like I said I really don't want to turn this into a major project but I will if the caulk will look bad in such a large gap. thanks
